Doncaster Placepot picks: Paul Kealy provides his perm for St Leger day

Courses don't really think about Placepot punters when it comes to scheduling races, and if they did, Doncaster wouldn't have put a three-runner affair on first (12.30).

shaped like the best horse when fourth to Chaldean on his debut and he's looked very good in two runs since.

Charlie Appleby was very complimentary about him after his Solario win, saying he is up there with the best of his juveniles, and a chance is taken that he'll reverse the form of his debut defeat.

I'm going to bank on him and hope he's just better than the other two, who are too closely matched to split with confidence.

Last year's winner should go well in the second leg (1.00), in which the five-timer-seeking has to be included as well.

The Flying Childers (1.35) ought to prove a match between Nunthorpe runner-up The Platinum Queen and Molecomb winner . We only need one and I'll take the latter as The Platinum Queen must have had a hard race at York.

My two in the Portland (2.10) are and , but I'll add the ground-versatile Whenthedealinsdone, who is up 10lb for his Ascot win, but was very impressive.

There's no real point in opposing Trueshan in the Doncaster Cup (2.45) following Friday's rain, and it's a similar story with Park Stakes (3.20) favourite .

He has a 3lb penalty to shoulder, but he's the best seven-furlong performer around in Britain and should make the first three at the very least.

It's a small perm for a bet that could have been made more attractive if the races had been ordered differently. The St Leger didn't even get a look-in!
